[00:02:19] How was your week?

[00:02:21] Not as steamy.

[00:02:22] I don't know.

[00:02:23] It is cold outside.

[00:02:26] It's very cold outside.

[00:02:28] Um, how was your week?

[00:02:30] Good.

[00:02:31] Good.

[00:02:31] Keeping busy like usual.

[00:02:34] Busy like how?

[00:02:36] Now you know I'm going to ask.

[00:02:37] In studio busy.

[00:02:38] Oh, that sucks.

[00:02:42] Well, my week was pretty decent.

[00:02:46] I'm just going to say, yeah, decent.

[00:02:49] Sleeping, eating.

[00:02:51] That's pretty.

[00:02:52] Yeah.

[00:02:52] That was pretty decent.

[00:02:55] Not controversial for once.

[00:02:59] Hibernating.

[00:03:00] Hibernating.

[00:03:01] Yeah.

[00:03:02] Getting ready for it.

[00:03:03] Yeah.

[00:03:05] No matching pajamas for me.

[00:03:07] Not yet.

[00:03:09] Yeah.

[00:03:09] That mess is really off.

[00:03:14] Anyway, my phone gets more action than I do.

[00:03:16] You heard that buzzing.

[00:03:18] It sounded like a rabbit.

[00:03:23] It's so embarrassing.

[00:03:27] People don't know I'm recording right now.

[00:03:29] Like all this buzzes.

[00:03:32] Anyway, you can follow me on IG at the John Cash Show.

[00:03:59] So let me say that again, because it's not the, it's the John Cash Show at gmail.com.

[00:04:05] Let's get into the show.

[00:04:06] So, so one of the major news stories this past week was the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO of the Medicaid division, I believe.

[00:04:18] Brian Thompson outside of a Midtown Manhattan Hilton hotel.

[00:04:27] So, I know quite a few of you have already, you know, heard about this.

[00:04:34] So I'm just going to give a brief synopsis.

[00:04:37] Long story short, the CEO in preparation of an investors conference this past Wednesday, I want to say.

[00:04:46] Yeah, past Wednesday.

[00:04:49] Went ahead to set up, I believe the conference was supposed to start at eight or nine o'clock.

[00:04:54] And about like 6.46, 6.47 a.m.

[00:04:58] He was gunned down in Midtown Manhattan by an assassin.

[00:05:04] They're saying the man had a gray jacket.

[00:05:07] He had a gray book bag.

[00:05:11] He had a face mask.

[00:05:12] He was very prepared.

[00:05:15] Now, I am going to go on record.

[00:05:20] And I may be wrong.

[00:05:24] It had to do with money or it had to do with sex.

[00:05:30] Somebody put their dick somewhere where it wasn't supposed to be, in my opinion.

[00:05:36] Or somebody took somebody money.

[00:05:40] And it was also, you know, come on.

[00:05:43] It was an inside job.

[00:05:45] How the hell could you possibly know when and where a person is supposed to be at the exact time?

[00:05:53] The shooter literally showed up five minutes before the CEO showed up.

[00:06:02] The motherfucker had enough time to go to Starbucks to get coffee, a bottle of water and two granola bars or two power bars or whatever.

[00:06:12] Put that damn Starbucks.

[00:06:13] Wait a minute.

[00:06:15] Let me call crime stuffers real quick.

[00:06:17] My backpack is black.

[00:06:19] You kind of look.

[00:06:20] You kind of look.

[00:06:21] Anyway.

[00:06:25] They offered 50,000.

[00:06:27] Let me text.

[00:06:28] Anyway.

[00:06:29] All right.

[00:06:30] And send.

[00:06:31] Let me stop.

[00:06:33] But anyway.

[00:06:36] I'm going to go with.

[00:06:40] I'm going to put my money on that.

[00:06:41] It was an affair.

[00:06:44] It was an affair.

[00:06:45] It was an affair.

[00:06:47] It was an affair.

[00:06:48] Now, I don't know.

[00:06:49] Maybe the wife did it because she was pretty calm on the news.

[00:06:54] I'm sorry.

[00:06:56] I'm sorry.

[00:06:57] Maybe the wife did it.

[00:06:58] She was pretty calm.

[00:06:59] I know me.

[00:07:00] If I lost somebody that I was married to.

[00:07:03] First of all, I'm an Aquarius.

[00:07:04] So for me to be married, that's a miracle in itself.

[00:07:07] But if I lost somebody that I was married to or cohabitating with, whatever, I don't think I would be composed enough to be like, well, you know, he did get some threats the past few weeks.

[00:07:24] You know, Godspeed.

[00:07:27] It was too.

[00:07:28] It was too calm.

[00:07:31] I guess I've looked at way too many more episodes like the math a math and as they say, the math a math and like what do you what do you say in terms of what do you bet on?

[00:07:49] Do you think that it's a coworker that want to knock him off to get his spot or you think is a jilted lover might be the jilted lovers boyfriend?

[00:08:01] I'm going to go with you.

[00:08:02] You know, go with me on the right side of history.

[00:08:06] I keep telling you that stick with me.

[00:08:07] Go far in life.

[00:08:08] Keep telling you that it's typically either money or sex something.

[00:08:14] And the whoever the assassin was, they had a way of means.

[00:08:19] They spent and I knew I told one of my friends the day that it happened.

[00:08:24] I said, I bet you they stayed at one of them hotels on the west side that they pay only cash.

[00:08:29] He was like, how did you know that?

[00:08:30] I said, that's not the point.

[00:08:33] I was just telling you that there are some places that exist that just accept cash.

[00:08:42] You know, just in case you, you, you know, slip under the radar.

[00:08:48] Yeah, cash.

[00:08:49] You just need an ID and cash or card like the good old days before you needed a card and ID for every damn thing.

[00:09:00] But, you know.

[00:09:03] Now, in light of all of that, which I find very, I don't know, I guess for lack of a better word, amusing.

[00:09:13] Now you have the health care companies taking down the executive leadership pages and bios off the company websites in response to the assassination.

[00:09:25] But they don't do that after school shootings.

[00:09:34] I'm just, look, look, I'm ready for that conversation.

[00:09:38] It's about to be a Trump world in 2025.

[00:09:40] You know, let me just shut my ass up.

[00:09:44] So you don't round my ass up and deport me even though I'm a born citizen here.

[00:09:49] Oh, you're black.

[00:09:51] Get out of here, nigga.

[00:09:53] With the hard ER.

[00:09:55] Not the A.

[00:09:56] Okay.

[00:10:01] So I'm going to say that all to say that the, I believe that it was an inside job.

[00:10:06] We all know it was an inside job.

[00:10:09] I'm going to just put it like that.

[00:10:11] And now they're trying to make every excuse.

[00:10:15] It was so funny reading this in real time in Citizens.

[00:10:19] At first they said white male.

[00:10:21] Then they changed it to light skinned male.

[00:10:23] I'm like, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.

[00:10:24] You had it right the first time.

[00:10:26] You had it right the first time.

[00:10:27] Uh-uh.

[00:10:28] No.

[00:10:28] Because you would have caught Pookie before he got to Central Park.

[00:10:31] Okay?

[00:10:32] You would have caught Pookie and Ray Ray and them before they hit Central Park.

[00:10:36] And you would have found a mixtape in their book bag.

[00:10:39] Okay?

[00:10:41] Gah!

[00:10:42] Okay.

[00:10:44] Let's keep it a stack, people.

[00:10:47] Let's keep it a stack.

[00:11:01] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:02] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:04] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:04] Okay.

[00:11:06] Now let's transition to healthcare companies refusing to pay for anesthesiology.

[00:11:14] Can you believe that?

[00:11:16] Like now that you can't even afford to have surgery anymore.

[00:11:20] Because they want to, they, they, they want to, uh, uh, not pay for the anesthesia.

[00:11:29] Uh, anesthesia.

[00:11:30] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:31] Damn, I was about to say anathletoch.

[00:11:33] Ugh.

[00:11:35] Like, no, I promise you, coconut water, not, uh, not coke.

[00:11:42] Uh, just want to make sure, um, that, okay.

[00:11:53] So let me pull up the article.

[00:11:55] So as you know, when you have surgery, you're supposed to have anesthesia to numb the area.

[00:12:01] Some is local, some is general.

[00:12:02] So now the healthcare providers, well, the insurance companies rather, were banding together

[00:12:10] to not pay for anesthesia, ah, anesthesia that was shorter than the duration of the surgery.

[00:12:24] So if you happen to wake up during the surgery, they would not pay for the anesthesia.

[00:12:32] Now this was earlier this week.

[00:12:34] Now after the guy got, you know, shot tragically, then they were like, ho, ho, ho, hold up.

[00:12:41] Like maybe, maybe we can.

[00:12:44] They backed up off that.

[00:12:46] Hmm.

[00:12:49] How did, how would you feel if you had to pay out of pocket?

[00:12:52] If you had to get surgery and.

[00:12:59] I would probably show up knocked out already.

[00:13:02] They just, just drag me in somehow.

[00:13:05] Walter, we're not talking about the, you know, the drug usage you usually do.

[00:13:10] Talking about anesthesia, not mushrooms.

[00:13:14] So work with me here.

[00:13:15] That would be kind of fun though.

[00:13:19] Okay.

[00:13:20] It'd be a hell of a surgery.

[00:13:24] I see unicorns growing out my leg, man.

[00:13:29] What?

[00:13:30] Abort mission.

[00:13:37] Okay.

[00:13:38] That's, that's going to be a healthcare 2025.

[00:13:42] So anybody looking for a job in healthcare, don't, don't, they're not going to pay you.

[00:13:50] They're not going to pay for anesthesia.

[00:13:52] They're not going to pay.

[00:13:53] They just go to deny claims left and right.

[00:13:55] They just, they just don't.

[00:13:56] Like, I mean, we laugh about it to keep from crying.

[00:14:01] It's sad.

[00:14:02] It's sad.

[00:14:03] Cause it mostly affects poor people.

[00:14:06] But, um, damn, I can't find the fricking article, but I could find live cam.

[00:14:12] Don't act the joke.

[00:14:15] Like I could find live cam, but I can't find the damn article.

[00:14:21] And I know I bookmarked it, you know, sometimes my viewing habits.

[00:14:32] We're going to transition to the tick tock band before something pops up.

[00:14:40] Something audibly.

[00:14:46] Somebody woke up from surgery.

[00:14:53] Alive and well.

[00:14:56] All right.

[00:14:57] So tick tock has lost its bid to strike down a law that could result in the platform being banned in the United States.

[00:15:05] I'm laughing still because I'm thinking about, I couldn't find, of course I couldn't find the anesthesiologist article, but live cam like, Oh, Hey, hold up.

[00:15:19] 10 minute break.

[00:15:25] That's what I forgot to do this morning.

[00:15:29] Anyway, a U S appeals court upheld the law in a ruling this past Friday, denying tick tock's argument that the law was unconstitutional.

[00:15:39] The judges found that the law does not violate the fifth amendment guarantee of equal protection of the laws.

[00:15:48] So that means pretty much the ruling means that the platform is one step closer to facing a ban in the United States, unless it can convince the Chinese parent company bite dance to sell and find a buyer starting on January the 19th,

[00:16:04] 20,

[00:16:05] 25.

[00:16:07] After the deadline.

[00:16:09] U S app stores and internet services could face hefty fines for hosting tick tock.

[00:16:15] If it is not sold.

[00:16:16] Now under the legislation.

[00:16:20] Biden may issue a one time extension of the deadline.

[00:16:25] Of course, tick tock said that it would appeal the decision.

[00:16:30] So what say you tick tock?

[00:16:34] Yeah.

[00:16:36] I'm not really on tick tock.

[00:16:39] I'm not either, but I mean, I never really got it.

[00:16:43] I kind of sort of got it, but I normally scroll tick tock.

[00:16:50] I just started posting stuff for the kind of the content for the show on tick tock.

[00:16:56] Uh, of course I'm pissed now that it might be banned.

[00:16:59] Cause I'm like all the damn time I've spent clipping and editing and I'm like, I'll suck your mother.

[00:17:06] Oh,

[00:17:09] like trying to time the algorithm and all that other shit.

[00:17:14] You have to go to YouTube shorts.

[00:17:17] Or live cam for the life.

[00:17:21] I'd probably make a lot more.

[00:17:25] Hey,

[00:17:27] I know my ministry.

[00:17:31] I'm blessed.

[00:17:33] We are blessed.

[00:17:34] We're blessed.

[00:17:35] We're blessed.

[00:17:36] We are blessed.

[00:17:38] So you get a little gospel here too.

[00:17:40] Hey, hallelujah.

[00:17:41] Yeah.

[00:17:41] But anyway, tick tock.

[00:17:45] I look at tick tock to keep up on the trends, especially working in education.

[00:17:51] Like that's the quickest way for you to see the latest dances and stuff.

[00:17:59] You know, like the Shamar, like the Shamar and the other dances.

[00:18:08] And I enjoy watching.

[00:18:12] I like watching the people who film the people doing the tick tocks.

[00:18:16] So, so out of context.

[00:18:19] Yeah.

[00:18:23] I mean, I'm more of a YouTube person.

[00:18:25] Yeah.

[00:18:27] I'm more of a YouTube person.

[00:18:29] I'm more of an Instagram person, more of a Facebook person.

[00:18:32] YouTube.

[00:18:32] I stumbled across, you know, my type of shit.

[00:18:36] Uh, there's a channel dedicated to like the, the toughest and, you know, dangerous cities and streets in, in the, in America.

[00:18:46] I'm like, that's my, that's my speed.

[00:18:48] You know?

[00:18:48] Yeah.

[00:18:51] We had a hood at, we had a hood at.

[00:18:59] Like, oh, I know.

[00:19:01] I know so and so.

[00:19:04] So yeah.

[00:19:05] I mean, if it's banned.

[00:19:08] Okay.

[00:19:10] For me, it's okay.

[00:19:11] I know a lot of people, they shop on tick tock.

[00:19:14] I'm sorry.

[00:19:15] I can't trust.

[00:19:15] I barely trust Amazon.

[00:19:16] I don't know if I could trust tick tock.

[00:19:19] Um, tick tock shopping.

[00:19:22] And they all, it's always ring lights and wigs.

[00:19:24] Jesus.

[00:19:30] Like, are you tired of the same content?

[00:19:33] And here's a ring light.

[00:19:34] Like, are you tired of the same yakki?

[00:19:39] Here's a bundle.

[00:19:41] Like what?

[00:19:43] Oh yeah.

[00:19:44] And the tarot, the tarot cards.

[00:19:46] That's the channels.

[00:19:47] The tarot cards.

[00:19:48] Really?

[00:19:49] Yeah.

[00:19:50] Yes or no.

[00:19:50] Is my man coming back?

[00:19:51] Yes.

[00:19:55] Yes or no.

[00:19:56] I'm tired of my man coming back.

[00:19:57] No, but maybe next week.

[00:19:59] Like what?

[00:20:02] Everybody man coming back.

[00:20:05] I guess it's tax time.

[00:20:07] Tax time soon.

[00:20:08] I'm sorry, baby.

[00:20:10] I didn't mean it.

[00:20:12] Let me borrow $2,000.

[00:20:14] Let me flip it for you.

[00:20:16] I saw the breakup ones like every now and then.

[00:20:20] They're just like crying into the camera.

[00:20:24] That's a thing, right?

[00:20:25] Tick tock.

[00:20:26] I don't know.

[00:20:27] I don't know.

[00:20:28] I don't think I'd miss it.

[00:20:30] I'm barely on it.

[00:20:33] Now, Pornhub.

[00:20:34] That shit man.

[00:20:36] Oh, baby.

[00:20:37] Stay the fuck away from me.

[00:20:39] Shit.

[00:20:40] I mean, I can be the visual sometimes, but shit.

[00:20:44] Sometimes I need a little assistance.

[00:20:49] It's been so long ago.

[00:20:52] Can't conjure up the memory.

[00:20:54] Like Pornhub.

[00:20:57] Xtube.

[00:20:58] That's gone, right?

[00:21:00] Xtube.

[00:21:01] I don't know.

[00:21:02] We're looking at each other.

[00:21:04] I'm going to find out right now.

[00:21:06] Xtube.

[00:21:10] Xtube.com.

[00:21:14] Yeah, Xtube is gone.

[00:21:16] I don't think I've heard about it.

[00:21:18] Xtube?

[00:21:19] Oh, sure.

[00:21:20] You ain't living.

[00:21:23] What is going on, Wesley Pipes?

[00:21:25] What is going on?

[00:21:27] No, definitely Pornhub.

[00:21:30] That would be a mutiny.

[00:21:33] That would be the next American Revolution.

[00:21:36] What if it becomes paid subscription?

[00:21:39] What?

[00:21:42] You know how YouTube is slowly trying to get you to premium?

[00:21:46] Well, I got an iPhone, so I got screen record.

[00:21:49] Yeah, that's true.

[00:21:51] Just put that shit up in the cloud.

[00:21:55] And I rain.

[00:21:56] Just edit.

[00:21:59] I like that.

[00:22:00] I like what you did there.

[00:22:01] Make it rain.

[00:22:03] I haven't done that in a minute.

[00:22:05] In fact, let me call.

[00:22:08] Oh, after the episode.

[00:22:10] So let's wrap this up.

[00:22:12] Final thoughts.

[00:22:16] Final thoughts.

[00:22:19] Wesley Pipes.
